I was stress testing my oc today with prime 95....and i accidently let it run for...oh...8 hours. I got home at my CPU was at like 75c. I kinda freaked out, as I have never run it for more than an hour at a time. Should I be worried about this at all?

You should be worried if you see a firetruck parked on your lawn. Other than that you should be fine.
If your system is working fine without crashing, there is no need to be worried.
 
Alright, yeah i've been using it since I got home. Was just worried about the temps causing some damage to it. It usually is never that hot, I rarely see 55c on load.
 
People used to recommend running P95 for like 24 hours to test stability (which was stupid), but it's nothing to worry about.
